Given the chaotic and apocalyptic environmental situation experienced by the inhabitants of the region, New Delhi seemed to us an obvious choice for the subject of research. Voted the most polluted region in the world, neither the sky, the water nor even the soil can escape the severe pollution which has reached the point of no return. Through this project, we hope to shed light on the causes and consequences of an international indistrulization focused on rapid consumption, particularly in the field of fashionable clothing, and of a national and international denial of the environmental crisis resulting in the deterioration of the inhabitants' health through the onset of lung and cardiovascular diseases; mainly caused by the intensification of urbanisation, the rise in automobile density and the practice of waste incineration.
